Keenen Banks was 19 when he and a friend, Quinyon Wallace, were shot while riding in a car on Whispering Oak Road in Oklahoma City’s west side in January 2012. Midafternoon calls about a vehicle slamming into a house led officers to find the car pressed against the home and on fire. Both young men had apparent gunshot wounds; fire and medical crews removed them and rushed them for care, but both later died.

Investigators concluded shots were fired into the vehicle before it struck the residence. Witnesses reported seeing a third person running away after the crash, described as wearing an orange shirt and camouflage shorts, but that person was never publicly identified. Authorities have not announced a suspect or any arrest in the deaths of Keenen and Quinyon, and the case remains open.

Keenen’s name appears on lists and memorials for Oklahoma City’s unsolved homicides, and police and advocacy groups have periodically renewed public appeals for information. If anyone has details about that January afternoon or the person seen fleeing the scene, please come forward with information.
